You very well could do completely dynamic pages if the code was done right, however, I am going to have two options. I that is dynamic with page caching and also have the option to generate static pages so it can fit both worlds. With the caching dynamic pages the site can still be dynamic when it changes, you just clear a local cache, as far as the serving it serves just as fast as a static page would be but provides more flexibility so I think I will be able to serve both types for people and let them choose.
